I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Ghost wreath

We’ll show you how to make a cute wreath of ghosts holding hands in a circle.

Fold a sheet of origami paper into a triangle, and repeat this step four times.

For the first three folds, fold the entire piece; on the fourth fold, only fold part of the paper toward the center.

Sketch a ghost design, then cut along the lines.

A tip: use a hole punch to cut out the eyes.

When you unfold the paper, your wreath will open up into a ring of ghosts.

The shadows it casts enhance the spooky vibe, making it a perfect item for Halloween.
